Default Lawn equipment with a 5.5 screw?

Shopping for my first truck ever and want it to be a supercrew. Does anyone have any issues with loading, or fitting, a 21" to 30" mower in the bed? Along with a weed wacker, backpack blower, and a few 32 gallon rubbermaid barrels? All this stuff should fit back there, right? ETA should of added 5.5ft bed.

You might be able to get all that in the 6.5' bed, or, get a flat bed trailer to tow behind it like this https://sleequipment.com/utility-tra...gaAnfBEALw_wcB

Could but why beat the **** out of your truck bed. Get a hitch rack for the mower.

If the mower is a simple small push mower, all of it should fit with no problems. If the mower is a standup commercial grade mower, probably not. Just get a 5x10 utility trailer for easy loading, etc., and frees up the bed the rest of the time. Ramps would be a PITA to deal with, not to mention the instability IMO.

You can find the bed measurements on the Ford site. Simply lay out what you want to put in, and how it will fit. If it's a push mower (sounds like it), the handle takes space that the barrels might go in. And the space between the wheels is only a hair over 48", so you might find that a barrel can't go side by side with a mower depending on the width of the barrel.
